My aim is to give my audience food for thought, not only as it stands before them in a gallery setting but when they have left also. I believe comedy is a great tool to achieve this, which is why I choose to portray my conceptual ideas through a light hearted and tongue in cheek approach. I often do this by the use of symbolic props and costumes, which either take central role in the work or are a quirky discreet aside to the ...[more]

Work of art I would like to make

People often think I am trying to be offensive with my Islamic based art which is absolutely wrong as I am Muslim myself. The work is about the distorted view many Muslims have of their own faith and culture and what makes a ‘good’ Muslim: especially in a western society. Many Muslim or Asian people have said things to me like ‘Yeah, but you’re not a proper Muslim are you?’ Why? Because I have white skin and don’t listen to RnB? I did try – I bought the ‘Boys to Men Legacy’ CD once but it made me feel ill.

In my work I question if you can be a ‘good’ Muslim in the West; especially if you are from two backgrounds like I. Islam is indeed a way of life. But what do you do when you have two completely opposite parents, to whom are you loyal? This relates to the current political climate with Islamic extremists. Many of these kids who become terrorists are born and bred in the west. They have grown up confused and torn between the cultural attitudes of Islam and the western environment in which they have been raised.

This battle between East and West has sky rocketed over the past ten years. I dread to think of how much worse the world could be in 25 years time. If I was to be picked for Four Sensations I would make a work on cultural identity in relation to Islam.
